Cottage Cheese Pikelets & Berries

[Julie-Ann]

I had this for breakie. I wasn't sure if this was going to taste ok - I mean cottage cheese in pikelets. But it was actually tasty and the same texture as normal pikelets. And what a nice way to start the day.

These delicious pikelets are made using cottage cheese. Cottage cheese is low in fat and high in protein, which is reflected in the nutritionals of this recipe.

You can top these pikelets with any fruit that you like - we have used mixed berries for this recipe, but you can also use bananas which are a dieters best friend because they are packed with healthy nutrients and keep us feeling full for hours.

This recipe is low in fats and a good source of protein.
